Metabo KS 66 FS Manual De Instrucciones página 13

When sawing, never remove the machine
from the material with the saw blade turning.
Allow the saw blade to come to a standstill.
If the saw blade blocks, turn the machine off
immediately.
Sawing along a straight line: the cutting indicator
is used here (11). The left notch (marked 0°)
indicates the direction of the cut if the saw blade is
held vertically. The right notch (marked 45°)
indicates the direction of the cut if the saw blade is
held at 45°.
Sawing along a rail secured on the workpiece:
In order to achieve an exact cutting edge, you can
attach a rail to the workpiece and then guide the
hand-held circular saw along this rail by means of
the guide plate (16).
Sawing with parallel guide:
For cuts parallel to a straight edge. The parallel
guide (12) can be inserted from either side into the
support provided for it. Tighten the locking screw
(8). It is best to calculate the exact cut width by
making a test cut.
Sawing with guide rail:
For dead straight, tear-free cutting edges with
millimetre precision. The anti-slip coating keeps the
surface safe and protects the workpiece against
scratches.
Saws with mitre rail system:
The machine is prepared for accommodation by the
Metabo mitre rail system. This permits particularly
comfortable mitre cuts of different angles.
8. Maintenance
Changing saw blades
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Press in the spindle locking button (27) and hold in
place. Turn the saw spindle slowly with the hexagon
wrench in the saw blade fixing screw (21) until the
lock catches.
Unscrew the saw blade fixing screw (21) gin a
clockwise direction and remove the outer saw blade
flange (22).
Pull back the movable safety guard (26) using the
lever (24) and remove the saw blade (23).
The contact areas between the inner saw blade
flange (25), the saw blade (23), the outer saw blade
flange (22) and the saw blade fixing screw (21) must
be clean.
Ensure that the inner saw blade flange (25) is
inserted in the right way: The inner saw blade
flange (25) has 2 sides, diameter 30 mm and 5/8"
(15.88 mm). Ensure a precise fit of saw blade
mounting hole to the inner saw blade flange (25)!
Incorrectly installed saw blades do not run smoothly
and lead to loss of control.
Insert a new saw blade, Make sure the direction of
rotation is correct. The direction of rotation is
indicated by arrows on the saw blade and guard.
Put on the outer saw blade flange (22).
Tighten the saw blade fixing screw (21) using the
(17) hexagon wrench.
Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades. Do
not use saw blades that are cracked or that
have changed their shape.
Do not use any saw blades made from high-
alloy high-speed steel (HSS).
Do not use any saw blades which do not
conform to the specified rating.
Use only saw blades with a diameter according to
the markings on the saw.
The saw blade must be suitable for the no-load
speed.
Use a saw blade that is suitable for the
material being sawn.
Use only genuine Metabo - saw blades. Saw
blades intended for cutting wood or similar
materials have to conform to EN 847-1.
9. Cleaning
Dust deposits must be regularly removed from the
machine. This includes vacuum cleaning the
ventilation louvres on the motor. Make sure that the
safety appliances, e.g. the movable guard, are in
perfect working order. The movable guard must
move freely, automatically, easily and exactly back
into its end position.
10. Troubleshooting
Switching on the machine briefly reduces the
voltage. Unfavourable mains power conditions may
have a detrimental effect on other machines. Power
impedances less than 0.3 ohm should not cause
malfunctions.
11. Accessories
Use only genuine Metabo accessories.
Use only accessories that fulfil the requirements
and specifications listed in these operating
instructions.
For the complete range of accessories, see
www.metabo.com or the main catalogue.
12. Repairs

out by qualified electricians!
A defective mains cable must be replaced only with
a special, original mains cable from Metabo
available from the Metabo service.
